Asus P5E3 Premium Wi-fi-AP

[Razmatazz]

Just got in the 2X2GB Reaper DDR3-1800 which replaced 4X1GB platinum (I had actually been running 2X1GB do to stability issues. Set NB to 1.41 and all else to auto. FSB at 400 MHz which is default. Very stable so far. I may be able to get by with lower NB voltage at this level. Donster, just so you know, OCZ platinum memory has been a real pain in the a$$ with this board. Soapman 72 has had similar problems and is doing well with the Reapers. Next step will be to increase FSB and try to push memory up to 1800 MHz.

I also found the information about the LLC very informative. Thank you for the link Voodo. This board has suffered the same problem with random crashing as the Rampage Formula. I ran into more problems when I was running 4X1GB OCZ Platinum. If I would have known about setting LLC to normal I likely would not have had as much problems. So far so good though with the Reapers.

I still have absolutely ZERO issues with the reapers. I believe I posted a link a couple of pages back, to my bios settings over on the OCZ forum. I am running alot more NB voltage than you are at the moment (1.57v), but this is because I am also running the clock twister setting on STRONGER. On auto, you may be able to get away with 1.49v to 1.53v. But you will have to test that out for your particular board. I also recommend running the LLC to NORMAL or AUTO, as running the PERFORMANCE setting often results in problems under light load. Heavy loads are not a problem, since the Vcore will actually be higher when the load is near 100%. Lighter loads or even an idle cpu often won't receive enough Vcore to be completely stable.

For the record, I tried running 8-8-8-24 vs the slightly looser 8-8-8-27 stock timings, and it was not prime stable. That was without increasing Vdimm. I don't feel that raising the Vdimm is worth the minute improvement in memory performance, so I went back to stock timings. I also tried 460mhz fsb, and that did not even pass memtest, but again, that was without tweaking any voltages. I may have needed more Vcore, NB voltage, or Vdimm for that to work, but I did not get around to playing with any of those. I don't know that I need the increased heat in my CPU, and I certainly will not go past 1.57v to the NB for 24/7 use, so overclocking on this memory may be pretty much out of the question for me. At least it is stable at advertised settings though.

Good luck with the reapers. You should have very little problems setting them up for 1800mhz

Both motherbord's looks the same to me but can someone tell more about this.

Hopefully someone can clear this question up. Thank you!!!
